And other musings on Cangiante, Sfumato, and Unione
I spent 4 days in Atlanta attending Imaging USA, which is the national conference for the Professional Photographers of America. The convention was enjoyable, with many great classes and an excellent trade show. Since I did not go with Elise, I decided to let the iPhone go crazy and see what I came up with. Below are some of the images those few days at The Georgia World Congress Center…. that place was unbelievably HUGE!

I stand still or move slowly, feeling things like the impulse of shapes, the direction of lines, the quality of surfaces. I frame with my eye (sometimes with my hands) as the ground glass would frame. Nothing that one could reasonably call thinking is taking place at this stage. The condition is total absorption; the decision (a picture!) is spontaneous. – Aaron Siskind, 1955
